Preventing "collar-wise" behavior
"Collar-wise" behavior is when your dog obeys commands only when the collar is on, ignoring when the collar is off. These tips from Garmin may help prevent the behavior:

Begin training the dog without using the training system.

Turn off the collar device and put it on the dog during initial training.

This allows the dog to get used to the device before you start using it to correct the dog.

Turn off the dog collar device and put it on the dog outside of your training sessions.

This allows the dog to get used to the device and helps to prevent the dog from associating the presence of the device with training or obedience.

Remote collars are one of the most effective training tools for professional trainers and individual pet owners alike. They offer many benefits when you can't always be near your pet to correct bad behavior at a distance.

So far, so good
I purchased this to try to stop my 3 year old Goldendoodle from barking at every dog that she sees. Because of the cost of these products, I wanted something that could be used for multiple training reasons, not just to prevent the barking, so I didn't purchase the product that is dedicated to prevent barking only. We have only had the remote trainer for a little over a week, but it seems to work perfectly. It takes & holds the charge well. Our dog is in & out of the water all day & it still functions properly. It's easy to use and we like that it has several different ways to train: sound, vibration & stimulation. There are also several different levels of stimulation if needed. The remote has an easy to read display. As I said, it's only been about a week, so check back in case I need to update this review.

Excellent product
I couldn't be more pleased with the Garmin Remote Trainer. I have had other, cheaper brands in the past, and this one is absolutely worth the extra money. My old trainers didn't go nearly as far, ran out with one use, and I could never tell how much was left in the battery. The Garmin has a clear, easy to read battery indicator. It really does work half a mile away and keeps its charge for days.
I walked three miles with my dog today and all he needed was the beep to remind him not to run away! Even after three days of use it is still fully charged. This one is far superior to any I have used in the past. I am thinking about getting another collar for my other dog. You can have three dogs on it with one hand held device.

Not so good so far
I had hoped this collar would work with my new GSD. I had tried it with my older dog without success because with the thick fur around her neck she doesn't feel the stimulation. The same thing is happening with my younger dog. I can put it all the way up to 18 and not get a response from her. Short of shaving off her fur so that the prongs can better reach her skin I don't know what to do.

He gets extremely upset at the 'traffic' outside. It could be the neighbor parking his car, kids walking, other animals etc. He will start barking and growling and punching my windows. He has already broken one and gone through it to get to the dog he wanted. I can't afford to keep replacing windows and I don't want him to get hurt. I tried every other training/correction method that my trainer has given me. When he gets that excited it is like he goes deaf, he doesn't pay attention to me unless I scream at the top of my lungs and I don't like doing that either. Is this collar appropriate for this breed, stubbornness level and weight?

I would say yes. My dog is a strong-willed lab Rhodesian ridgeback 80 lbs and quite stubborn. He will run away any chance he gets. This collar is awesome. He only needs the beep and he's a wonderful dog! It's far better than any I have had. Totally worth the extra money.
